No information of Admiral Seymour's return to Ticn tsin had been reeeiTed at Ta ku down to Sunday noon.

Several CItU Scrrlco Totes were also passed, and The Uoaso adjourned at a quarter to 0 o'clock. Tbo most significant news from China to day Is announcement made by our Shanghai Corre spondent and confirmed from other sources that Li IIcno Cbanq, who at present holds tho office of Viceroy of tho Knang proTlnces, has received an urgent summons to tho capital. Tho fact that a dignitary of his importaneo proposes to start from Canton so early as Friday shows that hb orders must havo been very pressing Indeed.

It is impossible, with our present information, to draw any certain inferenco from tho lixsty summons of tho wily old Chinaman to Peking. Tho policy of tho Palace, which has, led to such disastrous result, has been In tho main tho necessary, and train service has been resume! on tho Hue. Lord Roberts, in a telegram dated Juno 8, reports all quiet at Pretoria anil Johannes I burg. Over 2,000 stand of arms havo been given up in Pretoria since our occupation, and these are being utilized. for the rnleaed prisoners, who number 14d officers and 3,039 men.

Yer burgh said that the Admiralty had made arrangements for stationing additional forces on tho most important posts on the Yang tsze. Ho also read to tho House the information received with regard to the storming of the Ta ku forts from the commanding officer of H.M.S. Endymion. Tho House) hiving gono into Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates, Major RAscn and other service members, on the Toto of 10,000,000 for transport and remounts, called attention to the question of the supply of horses for the Army. Mr.

Wtndiiam, in his reply, stated that 91, C00 horses, had been shipped to South Africa during the present war, and he commented on the enormous cost which would have been involved If all these horses had been sent out from this country, the cost of transit to South Africa being 33 for each animal. While tho total cost of an English horso on arrival in Africa amounted to 70 or 75, the cost of an Argentine horse was only 20, and as Argentine and Australian horses served our purpose in Africa the War Office would not havo been justified had it asked tho country to provide English horses ata much larger expense. Heexplained that during the pastyear officers had been sent to many parts of tho world for the purpose of securing options for the purchase of horses when they might be wanted. It having been argued that tho plan of buying horses from middlemen was unsatisfactory, he showed that it was not without advantages, but added that it would be an error to suppose that tho War Office did not also purchase horses from owners directly. The discussion of the Tote was continued by Mr.

Waenzk, Sir H. Vincent, and Coijxel Kxxton Slanet, and Mr. Wyndham, answering questions which had been put to jbim, said that General Srn F. Forhtieb Waxkes considered tho largo Australian horses in Africa best for cavalry purposes, putting English horses in tho second place and Argentino horses in tho third. For mounted infantry ho thought Cape horses wero specially suited, and after them came, In hb opinion, Indian and Australian horses.

With regard to tho supply of horses for the Royal Reserve regiments no difficulty was being experienced. After further conversation, Tho voto was agreed to, as was a vote of 13,100,000 for provbions, forage, and other supplies. On tho voto of for clothing cstablbh mcnta and services, Sm J. Kebgcrk) referred to tho casual Ilea from innstroko at Aldershot last Monday week, and, observing that many of tho men who suffered wero wearing tho field cap, he urged tho War Offieo to provide tho troopa with better head gear. Colonix Wklmt and other members having spoken, Ma.

Wtkdiiau gavo expression In feeling terms to the sorrow caused to tho military authorities by tho loss of llfo on tho field day In question, and assured tho Commit too that overy possible atop had been taken by tho War Office to prevent tho rocurrcneb of such an unfortunate event. Ho submitted that, although thero might havo been negligence on tho part of Individuals, the Committee would not bo Justified In taking further action In tho matter. Tbero had, ho regretted to aay, boon unjustifiable criticism of officers who wore In no way to blamo. An enormous i number of helmets had been sent out to Booth Africa, and tho maker could not aupply more than a certain quantity in, a given time. It would bo tho policy of the Government In futnre to keep far larger reserve of auch articles than had born kept hitherto, and aa an emergency moajuro It waa hope that he has been Bent for to reverse It and to advbe tho Palace how to eacapo from a situation, that may becoino pregnant with disaster to somo of its most illustrious inmates.

Unhappily his journey to Peking admits of a less satisfactory interpretation. It is still far from clear that tho Dowager Evtress and her favonrito counsellors realize tbo dangers they havo brought upon their beads. Tho nativo Press at Shanghai reports, it true, that tho Manchu Geneuai. TcNorcnHiAxa has been arrested and tho Vicerot of Chi li delivered np to the Board of Punishments. But even if this story is correct, it only shows that tho officlab In question have failod to carry out the policy of the Court, and not necessarily that thb policy has been abandoned.

Another Shanghai message, it will bo seen, contains tho somewhat ominous report that fresh troops have been ordered from Shan tung to Peking.togcther witha dementi which may or may not bo intended to. delude the Europeans. It quite conceivable that tho departure of Li Hcno Chang for tho north may be duo to the protests of the less foolish or tho less desperate of tho Court officials, lwforo tho Palace takes seme steri which would bo irreparable. If this is the case he may or may not succeed in dissuading the rulers of tho country from tho fatal course they contemplate. Wo aro still without news from Peking and without authentic news of a positive kind from tho expeditionary force under Admiral Setmocr.

We know, however, that tho story brought by a Japanese ship from Ta kn to Chifu to the effect that tho Admirai. had returned to Ticn tsin can hardly bo correct. The ship which brought it left Ta ku early on Sunday, and tho Admiralty havo now received an official message from Wei hai wei explicitly declaring that no Information of Sir Edward Setmocb's return had reached The Rear Admiral up to 2 p.m. on Sunday. A nativo newspaper which is said to bo tho organ' of the well known Mandarin Snftso, who has given so much trouble In hb capacity as director of railway concessions, states positively that the British flag was flying on the south gate of Peking on.

Monday, and it naturally presumed that this the flag of the expeditionary force. It would be foolish to place much reliance on thb story, which, however, may possibly be true. It has at least this much in Its favour, that tho south gate tho gate wo should be tolerably sure to seize on our entry into the city. Even if thb.rumour. wero certainly well founded, our anxiety would not yet be at an end.

It is, we fear, within the bounds of possibility that if the expeditionary force aro at Peking they may have arrived too lato to save those whom they went up to rescue. ILtppily thcro not yet any special reason to entertain so horriblo a 'supposition. The stories as to the murder of the German Minister and tho destruction of tho Legations remain unconfirmed. From other widely distant parts of China we hear fresh news of dbturbances and of attacks on Europeans. A telegram received in Berlin states that tho European settlement at Tien tsin has been' bombarded tho reports of troubles in the large cities up tho West River from our Hongkong Correspondent aro particularly, disquieting mbsion stations in tho upper valley of tho Yang tszo havo been destroyed and thcro aro now signs of trouble In Szu chuan, as well as In Yunnan.

All theso things show tho imperative need of tho harmonious co opo ration of all tho Powers concerned, which, wo aro happy to say, Is having tangiblo results of tho moit gratifying kind. Whllo wo are sending up reinforcements from India and preparing to support tho Viceroys of tbo lower Yang tazo.ln their effort! to preserve llfo and property, Russb, Japan, tho United States, France, and Germany all havo strong reinforcements under way. In his Interesting speech at Exeter hall ycaterday Lord Saubbcby dwelt with hb accustomed frankness on somo of tho difficulties which surround the missionary question in foreign countries, and especially In China, Aa far aa the preaoot anti foreign outbreak la In any way connected with the labour of Christian missionaries the cooperation in its repression of force drawn from a country Hko Japan, wboae racial and religion affinities are Oriental and not Occidental, cannot fall to produce ft aalutary moral, effect. Itoaala, who Ii sending no lew 'than 4.000 troops to the icene of Action Thflffl is but little news thb morning frtpn South Africa, Lord Roberts having apparently entered upon another of those periods of silent preparation which intervene between hb forward movements. He tells us that all quiet at Pretoria and Johannesburg, and that our released soldiers to the number of three thousand aro being armed with Boer rifles, of which somo two thousand stands have been given up.

Recent fighting must have greatly disorganized tho Boer resbtanee, and when our different fighting units have been brought into effective combination wo shall doubtless hear of operations for the stamping out of what remains of ciKwf regular opposition. Lord Roberts is now in a position to tighten hb grip upon, tho wbolo country in such a manner as to justify an early proclamation of annexation on the lines of that promulgated in the Orango River Colony. The rapid repair of the tunnel at Langs Nek, through which supplies are now being forwarded in large quantities, adds indefinitely to tho mobility and range of operations of the large force under General Boxer. It is interesting to note that the tables havo been turned upon Mb. Kscger In the matter of railway cutting.

A bridge on the Dclagoa Bay Railway not far from the Portuguese frontier has been tampered with by persons unknown but suspected by the Boers to be three Britbh soldiers who escaped from custody. As it seems to bo a wooden frame bridge, it probablo that nothing more formidable than a saw was required for the operation, the result of which was that tho bridgo gavo way under the weight of a goods train, and traffic on tho lino is snspeiided, Thb must be awkward for the Hollanders now hurrying from tho sceno of their financial successes, as well as for Mb. Krcger with his track loads of bullion. As the fortunes of tho Boers decline the activity of tho Afrikander Bond appears to increase. Its congress, which, however, represents the pxtremo section exclusively, has passed resolution con demning the policy of the Imperial Government, and insbting that tho inuependenco of the Republics.

must be maintained. Tho new Ministry of Sib Gordon Sprigg, which appears likely to command a working majority, will bo moro concerned with tho efforts of tho Bond leaders to prevent tho punishment of rebels. As our Special Correspondent points out, they aro chiefly alarmed at tho prospect of losing their political in'fluenco unless they can assure to their dupes, tho immunity which they boastfully promised, Thb country, howover, cannot afford to disgust loyal colonbts by neglecting to punish tho dis loyal aliko for rebellion and for wanton destruction of tho property of loyal subjects. I Tho outcry of these interested politicians will not bo confounded with tho genuine demands of South Africa as a wholo, or even with the real expectations of those who took up arms. Upon tho questions which must occupy the country at tho closo of the war, the Duke of Devonshire and Mr.

Chamberlain yesterday spoke with wolcomo forco and clearness at "a meeting held under the auspices of tho Women's Liberal Unionist Association. That association does not share tho rather singular delusion of Mr. Cocrtnet that Liberal Unionism is ex 1 hausted when Home Rule is, whether temporarily or permanently, defeated and excluded from the list of political issues. On the contrary, as the! Dcke of Devonshire admirably demonstrated, I tho real principles underlying Union bm at homo I find their logical development in tho support of Imperial interests abroad. It is bard to say to what extent, tho growth of tho Imperial idea is duo to tho strugrlo we had to go through in 1 jrder to maintain unity in the three kingdoms, but no thinking man can doubt that the influence of that struggle was immense.

It enabled us all to realize tho magnitude and importance of the hcritago bequeathed to us by our fathers, and by a natural and necessary process of thought It awakened us to a moro vivid and intelligent perception of the larger unity of the Empire. Nor was tho issue of the 1 struggle without its effect upon 6ur colonies. Had we shown ourselves careless of unity at home, I thcro would never havo been that great outburst of enthusiasm for tho Empire which the war has called forth. No enthusiasm would have been possible on behalf of a mother country willing to resign herself to tho dbtracted impotence prepared for her by tho Home Rulers. But as tho right ending of the strugglo expanded the conceptions of our peoplo at home so did it stimulato the loyalty and patriotism of the colonies, who have found in the war, waged for objects which they entirely approve, the opportunity for a striking display of sentiments which have been gathering force ever since the triumph oi Unionism over disruption.

There is a logic in things, greater and more potent than any process' of conscious reasoning. To havo chosen the right course in a moment of difficulty helps us to. take the right course in the next emergency. To havo gono wrong in the first so to fabify our general attitude as often make further error almost inevitable. Wo havo a striking example in Sin Henet Campbell Bannerman, whom tho Drsxof Devonshire handled rather severely yesterday.

He sat on the fence and finally came down on the wrong side, in tho Home Rule and now in the Imperial controversy ho has again sat on the fence and again doomed himself to sterility and impotence. Mb. Chamberlain was very amusing in his treatment of thb unfortunate politician and his beautiful formula for the settlement of South Africa by the application of Liberal prin are these principles, Inquires Mb. Chamberlain, and from whoso lips are wo to learn them? Are they the principles of Mb. Cocrtnet, whom Bodmin rejects, or of Mb.

Bbtcx, whom South Africa repudiates, or of Mr. Morlet, who does not seem to know where ho or of Lord Roster ery, who seems to agree with the Unionist Government, though, as Mb. Chamberlain says, he prefers not to take an oar in the boat, but to stand on the shore and back it aa tbo winner Politics, liter all, aro common aenso and' business faculty applied to national affairs. Liberal principles, If they moan anything, mean the best application attainable at any given moment, not ny 8Ct of dogmas deduced from tho practice, probably only half understood, of great men who lived and workod In wholly different conditions. Common sense prescribes that, after spending lavbhly In life and in money to put down a corrupt tyranny which menaced tho wholo future of the Englbh peaking races in South shall take good care that tho work shall not have to be done over again.

To that end wo must see to it that no nucleus of republicanbm and race domlnatlrm left In the countries we have conquered. Liberty and progress we ahall guarantee to their popnlationa in far fuller measure than would eror have been obtained from a corrupt Hollander oligarchy, hot liberty to bobt an ftllen flag, to 1 create hostile organisation to collect ftraa i tone of hit remarks that it probably not far off. But whether It be a llttlo earlier or a little later, the mind of tho nation is made up as to tho broad lines of the settlement of South Africa, and also substantbily upon somo of tho Uctaib which moro directly appeal to the sentiments of the loyal population.
